@Evgeni Welcome to the forums. You can also use the following link to download the update manually and install. Select the installer type (MSIX or EXE) that you originally used.

@TomAng I'm not seeing that with any files I create in Publisher 2.3 with some basic text wrapping applied to an image, then opened in 2.4. Can you provide a sample file and do you know which version of Publisher it was last saved in?

@emmatf This forum is for users of Affinity apps (Publisher, Designer and Photo). If you're having an issue with their use, please expand on the issue with as much information as possible, including your system spec and OS. If your issue is non Affinity app related, try doing an internet search to hopefully find suggestions to assist you.

@gsax Thanks for the report. I've confirm the issue and logged it with our developers.

@anto Is the Publisher document you're pasting into the same DPI as the SVG file in Designer?

@Archangel I've installed the G'MIC plugin and processed some images within Affinity using the plugin and then used them in a HDR merge. But I'm still not getting any crashes occur on my Windows 11 system. Could you follow the steps in this FAQ article to check for a crash report for when this occurs for you.

@NotMyFault I've logged this with the developers. When you say "Affects all platforms" can you confirm, as I can only reproduce this on iPadOS using your file.

@noxdiurna Could I get a copy of your .afphoto file as I'm not getting the same kind of results you are on the images and adjustments I'm using. If I can confirm an issue I can get it logged with the developers.

@JohnnyV Welcome to the forums. If you switch the Develop persona's raw engine from using Apple CORE image to SerifLABS, does the image look any different when reopened? Can you provide a sample file?

@JulieR Once the app is open, can you see documents on the Live Docs screen? If you can I recommend tapping the icon for each document and saving them first. Once saved, swipe up to return to OS, then swipe up again and make sure the app is fully closed. Now tap the app icon, when you see the splash screen, double tap to open the Clear User Data options and tap Reset and when prompted tap OK. Does the app now open quicker? If not do you have a lot of fonts installed within the app at all? If you start a new document and try Placing an image, are you selecting from Files or Photos? Can you now see them to select? If not can you please do a screen recording showing this workflow.

@Archangel Thanks for the update, I'll do some more testing on Windows to see if I can get a crash to occur.

I asked the developers to confirm if this workflow/process is a bug but they confirmed it's working as expected. As the commands on the menu are independent of the Move tool, so it won't be using the current selection box, just the base box of each selected item. But it may be something that they look at improving in the future.

I've logged this to be confirmed if by design or a bug.

@Hanjo Does this occur for you regardless of the file you have open or have started? Have you tried resetting the app to default settings, just in case? To reset: Hold down the CTRL key and open the app, when the options appear, release the key and click Clear.

@TaurusGirl Welcome to the forums. Your file is giving the same message when I try opening it on my system. I've logged it with our developers for them to investigate further. However I can't give you an eta on when this may be and if the file can be recovered. If you can it's best to save/load files locally as using networked or cloud based storage can potentially cause issues as the connection to the file can be lost/dropped.
